PROHIBITED

Customers may not bring liquids or gels of any kind onboard the aircraft in their

carryon baggage if they do not meet the requirements described below. This

includes all beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, toothpaste, hair gel,

and other items of similar consistency. Items that do not meet the following

specifications must be packed in checked baggage.

Dual-use Items Prohibited in Carryon Bags

Prohibited Items are weapons, explosives, incendiaries, and include items that

are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons (dual-use items). You may

not bring these items to security checkpoints without authorization.

If you bring a prohibited item to the checkpoint, you may be criminally and/or

civilly prosecuted or, at the least, asked to rid yourself of the item. A screener

and/or Law Enforcement Officer will make this determination, depending on what

the item is and the circumstances. Bringing a prohibited item to a security

checkpoint - even accidentally - is illegal.  

The following list outlines items that are prohibited in your carryon baggage. This

list is not intended to be all-inclusive and is updated as necessary. To ensure

everyone's security, the screener may determine an item not listed is prohibited.

Answer 4

Visit www.tsa.gov. Anything anyone else plans to tell you is found on tsa.gov. Again, because stuff can change very rapidly, TSA will be your official source for safety information. Copied and pasted material (which is copyright by the way) from JetBlue is not official.

Answer 5

I think you should be aware that you are not allowed any liquids over 3 oz. You need to put any liquids in a quart size clear plastic bag for security. Only one bag per passenger. You are not allowed and liquids to get through security but if you buy bottled water once you get on the other side of security you can bring that on board.
